Haven is a blockchain ecosystem based on the foundations of anonymity and authenticated ownership. Using real and continuous biometric authentication it verifies that the user is the true authenticated owner at all times. It protects users from fraud, loss, and impersonation by making your face the ultimate key. No passwords, no seed phrases, no risks of theft.

Haven is building what it calls the world's first blockchain ecosystem powered by continuous biometric authentication. Instead of relying on passwords, seed phrases, or private keys, Haven ties wallet access directly to an encrypted, live biometric signature — essentially letting users interact with the blockchain simply by being themselves. The goal is to make digital ownership feel seamless and secure, removing one of the biggest points of friction in Web3: losing or managing keys.

At the heart of the project is the Haven Blockchain, designed so every wallet and transaction is verified through the user's biometric identity. This creates a user experience where onboarding is immediate, recovery is intuitive, and security is built in from the ground up. Haven's approach also aims to bridge mainstream audiences into Web3 by offering familiar, easy-to-use authentication rather than complex crypto tooling.

Haven is also positioning itself as a developer-friendly platform. Through Open Layer — their upcoming development environment — builders will be able to create dApps that automatically inherit Haven's secure, biometric-first design. Their roadmap includes the Haven Wallet & App launch in October 2025, followed by a pre-ICO in November and a full blockchain release in 2026, promising a growing ecosystem built around identity-native Web3 experiences.

Bill Dafflon is Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Wondera.AI, an AI music company backed by leading Silicon Valley venture capital firms. Bill is currently an investor in WebX, the world's first Bitcoin Accumulation Company (BAC).

WebX International Holdings Limited began its journey in manufacturing — transforming raw materials into value. Today, that same spirit of transformation drives the company towards a new frontier: computation power.

Around the world, computation resources are abundant yet scattered — powerful, but often idle or misallocated. WebX saw an opportunity: to turn this fragmented infrastructure into a connected, efficient, and finance-enabled network.

Evolving from a textile innovator into a computing-power pioneer, WebX builds the systems that convert energy and computation into digital value — redefining how infrastructure powers growth in the digital age.

Backed by world-class partners across finance, technology, and blockchain, WebX connects global capital with computation power — unlocking transparent, sustainable, and enduring value creation.

Digital asset treasury companies are booming, but WebX is taking a very different path. Instead of raising capital to buy and hold Bitcoin, the company accumulates BTC directly through operational revenue and targeted investments—feeding value back into the Bitcoin ecosystem over time. After securing an account with a regulated Hong Kong crypto trading provider, WebX recently completed its first Bitcoin purchase, fully funded from internal resources.

The company's strategy addresses a major problem in the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) sector. More than 100 publicly traded firms now hold Bitcoin and other digital assets, but most do so passively. Without income-generating operations tied to their treasury, traditional DATs rely heavily on external fundraising—often at inflated market prices—which dilutes shareholders and collapses in bear markets. WebX's active accumulation model avoids these pitfalls by using its own operating business to steadily buy BTC.

Harvey Liu is the CEO at LeveX, a crypto exchange built by traders who believe that sharing strategies and successful trades builds a stronger community where everyone wins.

​​LeveX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that launched in 2023. It offers a wide array of trading options — spot and perpetual futures — across hundreds of coins and trading pairs to serve both casual and advanced crypto traders.

What sets LeveX apart is its emphasis on community-driven trading rather than treating every user as a lone investor. The platform integrates a social feed where traders can share strategies, follow experienced peers, and learn from the community instead of going it alone. On top of that, there are extra features like regular trading tournaments, educational content, and a "creator following" system that brings market analysis and real-time trade insights from seasoned traders right into the interface.

LeveX offers serious logical advantages: very competitive fee structure (makers can pay as little as 0.0060% under their VIP program), transparent operations (including a public "proof-of-reserves" policy), and advanced order/position tools. Their "multi-trade" system is especially appealing for seasoned traders: you can hold multiple, independent positions on the same trading pair — with different leverage, margin, and risk settings — which allows for hedging, scaling in/out, or running parallel strategies in a way few other exchanges offer.

Jack Cameron is the co-founder of CreatorFi, a unified platform for creative capital, partnerships, and growth enablement to help the world's best creators

CreatorFi is a financing platform developed by the team behind Insomnia Labs, designed to provide working capital to digital creators across categories such as YouTube, music, and user-generated gaming platforms like Roblox. The product emerged after multi-channel networks and creator organizations—including Yoola, which represents around 3,000 creators—approached Insomnia seeking a more efficient way to lend against creators' digital earnings. CreatorFi underwrites assets such as YouTube channels, music catalogs, and in-game item sales, determining how much a creator earns and how much can be advanced to them.

The platform uses machine-learning models to evaluate creator data, behavioral patterns, and catalog performance to generate risk-adjusted financing offers. Because digital earnings can be redirected at the platform level, CreatorFi operates as a receivables-based lender—allowing repayments to occur in real time and reducing risk for liquidity providers. Underwriting challenges vary by vertical: YouTube and Roblox offer relatively clean data streams, while music earnings require additional normalization due to fragmented reporting systems.

CreatorFi issues advances and repayments primarily in USDC and operates on Aptos, selected for its native USDC support, low transaction fees, and robust on-/off-ramp payment infrastructure. This stablecoin-based system enables faster, lower-cost global payments, particularly benefiting creators in regions where FX conversion fees can exceed 70%. CreatorFi has active partnerships with YouTube networks, music distributors, and Roblox studios, and the company is expanding its origination capacity following a newly announced $2 million strategic partnership with Aptos, with additional creator-focused partnerships planned.

The PlayAI Network is the orchestration network and interface for users and developers for seamless communication and coordination between tools, agents, applications, and data sources. Acting as the backbone of the agentic ecosystem, it addresses the challenges of fragmented AI systems by creating an interconnected environment where tasks can flow seamlessly across different platforms and contexts.

PlayAI offers an orchestration layer designed to break down the silos between disparate applications, tools, and data sources. Rather than having individual AI agents, apps, and services working in isolation, PlayAI's platform connects them in a unified workflow. For example, it can trigger actions across calendars, messaging, cloud storage or business tools based on one prompt. This means enterprises can automate multi-step tasks spanning different systems with far less manual effort, helping boost productivity and reduce friction between tools.

From a technical and commercial standpoint, PlayAI deploys its infrastructure as a modular stack built on decentralised frameworks: it uses node infrastructure ("Oasis Nodes"), a native token ($PLAI) to power the economy, and an SDK/API layer to enable integrations for developers and enterprises. What this means for business: you have a platform where automation, AI-agent orchestration, and workflow integration are baked into a single system — useful if you're looking to move beyond one-off automation scripts to a scalable, cross-tool orchestration backbone.
